Lots to choose from in varied Cork auction

Over €5 million could be netted from the sale by auction next month of more than 25 mixed lots in a DTZ/Sherry FitzGerald auction that includes a former city pub, a former suburban Douglas shop, and bundles of apartments, aimed primarily at investors.

The assertive move by Sherry FitzGerald/DTZ into the competitive auction market in Cork is due July 6 (the company has already held several group auctions in Dublin) and includes lots in Cork, Dublin, Tipperary, Waterford, Kildare, Kerry and Kilkenny.

In Cork, the commercial offers include a bar at 18/19 Pine Street, near Bridge Street, with a €200,000 guide, and nearby is a ground floor retail unit and overhead accommodation at 37 Leitrim Street, guided by DTZ’s Seamus Costello at €150,000.
